2019 was a record year
Additionally, in 2019 Sphere 1 celebrated a record-breaking year in every aspect of our business. Even with the COVID-19 crisis impacting many things in 2020, the one constant is that Sphere 1 is pressing on. Our membership is strong, resilient and committed to growing through today’s fluid times.
With this in mind, Sphere 1 has taken some of the important aspects of our Annual Meeting to a virtual platform. We have launched phase 1 of our table top sessions, with phase 2 coming later this month. Our Annual Awards Dinner has been converted to a Virtual Awards Show, taking place the evening of August 27, 2020.
We can’t thank our members and suppliers enough for the support with these changes, as well as everyone’s willingness to adapt and help make things successful. Stay tuned for more from Sphere 1, as our membership continues to grow its footprint in today’s construction supply marketplace.
Sphere 1 is a cooperative of tool, fastener, and concrete accessory distributors, working together to achieve competitive and sustainable advantages in our marketplace. By partnering with preferred suppliers, we provide our members with enhanced vendor programs, superior education and innovative practices. While fostering community among our peers, we are committed to integrity, honesty and respect in all that we do.
